Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur The third volume in a series of five collections of short stories from one of the most original thinkers in the genre.This third volume of Philip K Dick’s stories is drawn, like Second Variety (the second volume), from his most prolific period as a short story writer. The 23 items were written in little more than a year, before his first novel appeared.Many of them are previously uncollected, but also included are several of his most famous stories, such as Foster, You’re Dead, a powerful extrapolation of nuclear-war hysteria, and The Golden Man, a very different story about a super-evolved mutant human.This is a marvellously varied collection by a writer whose posthumous reputation continues to grow and grow. Biographie de l'auteur Philip K Dick was born in Chicago in 1928 and lived most of his life in California. He attended college for a year at Berkeley. Apart from writing, his main interest was music. He won the Hugo Award for his classic novel of alternative history, `The Man in the High Castle’ (1962). He was married five times and had three children. He died in March 1982.
